I have a BO that is sorting on an int field (int in SQL Server). However the sorted results are as if the field was alpha-numeric. I.e. it sorts 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, ect. Am I missing a setting? The field is an Int32 in the BO.

Ah...I think the problem is that I'm using CopyData to fill a listbox and the listbox is sorting using alpha...the BO is sorting OK. I'll have to think of how to handle this.

The Sorted (of a listbox) property set to none...works great now...did I mention I was new to dotnet

As I have mentioned before...I know that you won't have this problem again and I think that you said something about ... "Yeah, pain teaches"

Just as a side note, you can get the behavior you want through a list...or any other type of object or collection for that matter.  You can create a comparer object that compares two values any way that you like.  In fact, the framework has a sorter for a ListView called the ListViewItemSorter.  This can be used as a column sorter on a ListView.

I've read about the comparers. I'm sure I'll be using them at some point. And yeah, I won't soon forget this lesson...I've got the scares to remind me
